Fairy-Tale Fun Begins as Shrek the Musical Opens in Omaha

The fairy tale characters of Far Far Away have come to Omaha! The national tour of Shrek the Musical opens October 23 at the Orpheum Theater. The show will run through October 28.

The musical, based on the hit 2001 Dreamworks film, focuses on Shrek, a grumpy ogre, who is on a mission to save his swamp home from the displacement of fairy-tale characters by the evil Lord Farquaad. On his journey, he meets the chatty, parfait-loving Donkey and the beautiful, feisty Princess Fiona. Together, the trio makes for a modern-day fairy tale unlike any other.
